I won it at a raffle years ago and couldn't find it on Waitrose website .
It was the nicest white wine I've ever tasted

Joseph drouhin burgundy.

So I'm assuming this is a burgundy wine ? Like you get Chardonnay etc.

Pouilly Vinzelles is lovely but obviously not cheap, do you know what the vintage was? If it was a few years old the same vintage is unlikely to be available now.
Pouilly Fuissé is perhaps the best known of the Pouillys, with prices to match. You could research which recent years produced good vintages of white Burgundy but beware — wines like Montrachet are hugely expensive. There are other villages near Pouilly Vinzelles like Pouilly Loché which produce similar but slightly cheaper wines. But this is definitely not plonk!
You could also ask advice at a decent, old-fashioned wine merchants if there is one near you. If you visit them in person you will probably be offered some to taste.
If you do find something you really like, buy several bottles. Or at least more than one. You won’t regret it.
And if you really love these wines why not take a trip to the Côte d’Or where they are produced? It’s very pretty and lots of local producers have direct sales and tastings at the vineyards. (In the hope that you will buy some!)
Many advertise at the side of the road, big signs give the name of the property followed by ‘Dégustation - Vente Direct’. Bonne chance!

I think i’ve seen Vinzelles and Loché for under £30 so give it a go!

Should be good with poultry for a Christmas meal, or a vegetarian alternative.
